hi petem
your instructions worked perfectly. Altho the file is in windows\system on my comp, not windows\system32.
This seems to be a problem on 98 only (and probably i guess, Me)
The usual shoddy support of older OS's by microsoft. I know its a 98 problem on my comp as I have a dual boot system accessing the net via a router, and XP worked fine without this fix.
ps petem couldn't find this fix anywhere else, I suspect it's helped many people, who can't say so because of the drag of membership
cheers mate
